THE time rolls round for the club
woman to put in an appearance.
She has played truant from work all
through the summer days and now she
must sharpen her wits and set about
donning her club demeanor; that is,
she must look wise even though she
fail to feel so. She must dust the encyclopedia
and indulge a grand skirmish
for hiaterial for the club paper. She
must scan the dailies for all that is going
ing on the world, so that she may give
her opinion of the probable outcome
of John Bull’s tiff with the Boers; she
must join in the lamentation over
Dreyfus, and decide the fortune of
France; she must know the hygienic
value of foods, and above all, know
what every other club woman in all
this country is about. This club wornan
has peeped into forbidden books.
Most shocking! She has frittered
the long summer afternoon with
those horrible novels, and now she
does not even know the municipal
status of the light and water questions.
She has seen “L. W. Campbell” and
“A. R. McCollum” appended to closely
written columns, but she really is
not aroused to the merits of the controversy.
She is too far hypnotized by
the lassitude of the heat.
But the tocsin sounds with the first
of November. The year book, more
rigid in its demands than the law of
the Medes and Persians, says that the
gavel must fall, the roll be called, and
every club woman answer “present.”
Really she is eager for the time. The
reunion will be doubly pleasant, since
it reassembles old friends, and it introduces
into the congenial circle,new
ones. There are nearly two thousand
club women in Texas, whom the men
do not think are so disagreeable after
all (it is noted that there is never a
dearth of men where a social session
is held). These have compassed the
United States and Canada, and return
to their club brim full of vigor and
new ideas. The Texas club women
are a busy body (take that literally if
you please). Their federation is in its
infancy, and their work in its formulative
state; consequently, there is
much to observe by way of variety.
Gleaned here and there, are,
The Press club is about ready to
adopt its new program, which has
been unavoidably delayed.
The young ladies of Round Rock
have just organized a Shakespere club
which they hope to federate next
spring.
The State Federation will soon be
out with a printed constitution and
bylaws; list of the federated clubs,
together with the president and cor
responding secretary of each.
The Woman’s club loses two of its
strongest members in the absence of
Mrs. J. D. Thomas and Miss Lolabel
House.
The Waxahachie Shakespere club
permits no papers to be read. The
subjects must all be handled orally.
Denton has a new club, henceforth
to be known as the Woman’s Shakespere.
Mrs. Lee Ragsdale is president
and Mrs. William Ponder, vicepresident.
Bright little Mrs. John C. Harrison,
one of the best known club women in
the state, is now president of the Fort
Worth Wednesday club. She left last
week for a visit East.
The last Colorado legislature reports
that woman’s suffrage has proved
more than satisfactory, and petitions
other state legislatures to follow Oolorado’s
example.
The Austin Shakespere club lays
claim to the prettiest year books in
Texas. It uses a moss green cover,
embossed with a pansy, the club color
and flower. This club adjourns in a
body at stated times to the university
where Prof. Liddell lectures in English
and the dramatic art of Shakespere.
The Hawthorne club at Ouero celebrates
its birthday early in the spring.
Several days will be devoted to an

able programs. It is a clear case according
to the club woman’s code of
training the youth in the way he
should go.
It is a generally conceded fact the
several Waco clubs will provide a hall
for their winter sessions.
The recent death of Mrs. Ardrey
takes from Dallas one of its pioneer
club women. She was widely known
and highly respected.
Perhaps the Dallas club women are
too well balanced for the distraction,
but it does look as though the long
exposition period would delay the club
and the library movement.
Purple is decidedly in favor as a club
color.
If the club women live up to their mottoes,
they are surely ennobled. The
one of the Woman’s club, “If we rest,
we rust” is also the motto of the Fort
Worth Wednesday club.
The Galveston Shakespere club is
so far the only mixed club in the state.
The National Club Woman’s Magazine
in its October number contains a
photograph with a biographical sketch
of Miss Kate Friend.
The Colorado club women who attended
the Woman’s Council atBoulder
were very much disappointed that
so few of the Texas club women were
in attendance.
Mrs. Maude Cole tarries until late
November in her summer home so she
will be tardy in taking her place
j among the busy workers.
The XXI club of Denison is very
i proud of the fact that it is the first and
only woman’s club in the state to own
its home, a $10,000.03 building, by
the way, and beautifully furnished.
A new, club has just formed in Cuero.
Mrs. B. H. Hill has in prospect the
formation of a Chautauqua reading circle.
Afternoon teas are of the late innovations
for club relaxation. A woman
and a cup of tea, you know.
The Galveston Wednesday club, in
preparation for the Paris show, pursues
the study of French writers.
For a set of women imbued with the
spirit of patriotism, the Texas birthday
could be recognized by the pass '
ing of a pencil and tablet. Twenty or
more questions upon the battle of San
Jacinto are annoueed on these tablets,
shaped like a Texas star.
The compliment has been paid the
library club that, from all the programs
examined during the federation
in Galveston, none excelled that
followed by the literary club.
The Modern Writers club bas been
meeting all the summer. Miss Marion
Segner is president.
The official parliamentarian of the
Denver Woman’s club will probably
conduct winter classes in several Texas
towns.
The Dallas women, with Mrs. Henry
Exall as spokesman, are jubilant over
the Carnegie gift of fifty thousand
dollars to the Library. A memorial of
thanks has already been forwarded to
this great promoter of the library
movement.
Mrs. Evelyn Fitzpatrick, who edits
the Alabama club woman’s journal,
and who was in Denver at the Biennial,
was again in Colorado, and met many
of this summer’s tourists from among
the Waco women.
San Antonio, from all appearances,
seems to be succeedingly nicely with
her department club.
Bryan is luxuriating in a new
Shakespere club.

It was all fun and frolic on the W.D.
Lacy lawn last Monday afternoon, for
there were seventy wee boys and girls
there to make merry with MisSes
Stella and Nannie Lacy, whose birthdays
coming just one week apart,
' were being celebrated together. Each
little lady made out her own list and
invited her own friends in verse, so
there was no wonder that there was
inviting prominent club women

In advanced club centers, the school
misses are organizing juvenile clubs.
These assist actively in the philanthropic
work, and follow very creditsuch
a patter of feet and chatter of
; tongues. The little hostesses met
every friend, received and thanked
many for their presents, and then
joined in the general merriment.
Whenever thele is a fish pond at a
